Yeah man it is very refreshing to listen to speakers and it really defines what music enjoyment is. Thing is headphones have you like trapped in a way save for wireless headphones but even the best wireless are terrible.
And as a plus you don't have to worry about sweaty ears etc. It really is quite refreshing to go back to using speakers.
I shall buy another set of audiophile headphones in the future but for now I am taking a break from audiophile stuff since I need to get my life on track you know. I am also considering migrating and traveling a bit so this is where these speakers really comes in.
You see these speakers actually sound better with lower quality MP3 as opposed to FLAC etc. You do not go spending the time and effort to get perfect source recording because int he end there is only so much main stream speakers can even output.
So ultra high SNR cards and DAC etc is a bit pointless cause you need good speakers to even notice a difference between them you know.
So this now forces you to give up pursuit of audiophile sound and just sit back for once and just enjoy anything you throw at them. Even 96k streams from sky.fm internet radio etc.
Its like a relief you know to not worry everytime about getting perfect quality recording and perfect sound cards and dacs and amps etc etc etc.
With these you can just throw any damn thing at them and enjoy it. best of all my Z5500 has actually saved me from my audiophile addiction this hobby is expensive you know and when you addicted to it, its ahell of a thing. Maby when I have migrated and settled and have my priorities straight I may take back up my headphone audiophile hobby.
But for now I am enjoying these more than you could ever know.
Ow and I also use the Dolby pro Logic 2 Music DSP option on the controller pod so it mixes 2 channel MP3 and sends it to all 5 satellites around the room and makes you think you actually listening to real 5.1 music. Its a lot of fun
